Thirteen Thursday......on Saturday

Okay, so I am not familiar with the rules of 13 Thursday, but I am assuming it just a list of 13 Things....of something, but I don't know what.

I am going to list 13 things the girls love to play with outside.

1. Dirt, any dirt, but they prefer if it is in mud form.
2. Brian's unfinished mustang with no doors, windows, or engine. I can't imagine why this is fun for the girls, but for some reason it is.
3. Sticks, they even like to help Brian pick up sticks to carry to the burn pile.
4. Rocks, this one is also a mystery. Brian put pea gravel around their original swing set and that is the best fun.
5. Ladybugs, we have a tree that is always covered with ladybug and they love them.
6. Water, any water that has accumulated anywhere. I have noticed a trend with kids the world around, most of them love water.
7. A pile of lime, which I am sure most people do not have in their yard, but we do and it is good times, running to the top, then running down the side.
8. Storm cellar, of course we don't let them play in the storm cellar, but on top. I guess because it makes them feel tall.
9. Each other, they love to chase each other. I wish I had a picture of Molly dragging Sarah behind her 4 wheeler the other day. Molly got stuck and because Sarah is a sweetheart she got off hers to push Molly out. Well, Molly kept going and Sarah ran for a while, but then lost her footing and the Molly dragged her. Brian and I heard what we thought was crying until they got close enough for us to see that she was laughing.....well, until she got to the drive way and the laughing stopped....thankfully so did Molly.
10. "The Ladder", they call it a ladder, but it is actually ramps for Brian's trailer propped up against the side of the shop. It would be classified as the shortest ladder of all times, but they think they are cool climbing up them.
11. Side walk chalk, however, they NEVER color on the sidewalk/driveway. It is usually a tree, the side of the shop, Brian's scrap metal, each other, or the play house. Thankfully, chalk is washable.
12. Their 4 wheelers, I would have never guessed they would have enjoyed them as much as they do. Molly is especially good at driving hers, maybe motocross or something like that in her future :)
13. Rake, shovel (also known at our house as a shoggle), and any tools you use in the yard....and reference to no. 1, the dirt.

We are outside playing now, thank you Brian for wireless Internet, and they are playing w/ no. 1, 3, 4 & 6. Good times at our house. Thank goodness for nice weather!!!
